What separates athletes who reach their potential from those who plateau? In this fan-favorite episode, Coach TJ and Zoe break down 11 guiding principles that form the foundation of sustainable athletic growth—from knowing your why to controlling the controllables.
But first, we settle the important debates: Pop-Tarts vs. Fig Newtons, why watermelon at aid stations is basically a psy-op, and which race day foods are actually worth reaching for.
The 11 Principles:
- Know your why
- Create your vision
- Commitment to excellence
- Goals as stepping stones (not leaps)
- Focus on the basics
- Easy days easy, hard days hard
- Shift from proving to improving
- Practice patience and non-judgment
- Feelings can be more informative than numbers
- Stress is stress
- Control the controllables
